Snowfall advisory

December 9 at 6:20am

Campus is open and exams are being held as scheduled. Snowfall overnight has varied across Greater Victoria and some areas will be more affected than others. Wintry conditions are continuing. Use extreme caution in your travels and allow yourself extra time to reach the university. BC transit is running but there may be delays. Crews at UVic are working to clear parking lots and main pathways, however conditions are slippery so people are advised to slow down and be careful as they drive and walk around campus.

Power to the people

A beneficial gift from Sisters of St. Ann

The Sisters of St. Ann donated $2-million toward UVic's Youth in Care endowment which provides tuition for up to 14 UVic applicants per year who have lived in government care. Here, recipient Lilia Zaharieva (Child and Youth Care) talks with Sister Marie Zarowny, Provincial Leader of the Sisters of St. Ann.

Our schools and centres

The Faculty of Human and Social Development has partnerships and well established relationships with a number of facilities on and off campus. Here, nursing students work through an exercise at the Centre for Interprofessional Clinical and Simlation Learning at the Royal Jubilee Hospital.
